Weinstube Kesselstatt (Kesselstatt Wine Bar), Trier
The Kesselstatt Wine Bar (Weinstube Kesselstatt) in Trier is a quintessential wine bar nestled in a 250-year-old palace in Trier's historic heart. Known for its blend of elegant architecture and cozy ambiance, this establishment boasts both a beautiful vaulted wine cellar and a charming summer terrace with views of Trier Cathedral. Guests can savor high-quality, fresh regional cuisine, with dishes that evolve with the seasons to showcase local ingredients. Daily specials and a prix-fixe menu are complemented by a wide range of wines from the Reichsgraf von Kesselstatt estate, a vineyard that has been in the winemaking business for over 650 years. This estate is celebrated for its Rieslings, crafted from grapes grown on the Mosel River’s renowned steep, slate-covered vineyards.
Inside, the Kesselstatt Wine Bar feels both rustic and refined, with exposed beams, polished wood tables, and walls lined with wine bottles. In warmer weather, guests can enjoy outdoor seating at wine-barrel tables or on the grapevine-surrounded terrace, creating a feeling of being steps away from the historic vineyards along the Mosel River.
Beyond the restaurant experience, Kesselstatt Wine Bar offers a rich wine culture, including tastings in its historic 17th-century cellars, which once produced wine until the winemaking process moved off-site around 1980. The cellars, built on remnants of a Roman glassworks factory, stretch across 4,000 square meters and are a favored venue for wine events and storage. Wine lovers can partake in guided tastings, private sessions, and a wine walk around the Kesselstatt Palace and Trier Cathedral. Located a short journey from Kaiserslautern, this wine bar provides a rich, immersive experience in one of Germany’s oldest cities.
